    The choices were varied and delicious. We had a mix of broccoli quiche, soups, and salads for lunch followed by several choices of cake: red velvet, raspberry champagne, coconut, and peppermint and one slice of key lime pie. All were thoroughly enjoyed!

    Power went out, they were able to charge us for our meal, but not dessert! Said they couldn’t serves us dessert, didn’t make sense as he hand wrote our receipt for our meal! I think the just didn’t want to mess with hand written receipts for dessert or anything from the bakery! Disappointed

    My favorite quiche and salad and my daughter loves the buttered noodles. I would love for Cake Bake to offer a savory cookbook and include the recipe for both those menu items. The music level was a little too loud for conversation. I do wish more restaurants thought of music as soft background noise so that you can enjoy talking with those you are with. Overall we love the beautiful decorations and good food!

    We always have a good experience at Cake Bake. However today the party next to us were so loud we couldn’t hear to have a conversation. I will ask next time to sit away from parties.

    This place is great for a special occasion. Very fancy decor, delicious food, excellent portions, sweet service. There's a bit more space than the Broad Ripple location if a bet less charm. Both are great options.

    My daughter & I go to Carmel every year for a pre-Christmas get together. We had to add my 4 yr old granddaughter due to childcare issues. I had messaged them the day before and they were ready for us. We were seated right away, the waitress was great, and as always the food was amazing. My granddaughter loved the fairy dust!! ❤️❤️❤️ its very expensive but it’s more of an experience than just eating out. 😊❤️
